He won the ball really well in our half, fed Young then bust a gut to get on the end of his return pass only to fluff the cross.Agreed. NRC is aggressive, a good ball-winner and he drives forward powerfully, but time after time he messes up the final pass.Not as often as some fans like to make out though. He takes risks I'll admit, he'd often be safer playing backwards like some Mon stalwarts do more often than notYou did see the incident that Chris is referring to? Jagielka lying on his back in the middle of the penalty area with Young unmarked in the middle and Reo-Coker STILL manages to put the pass straight at the prone defender when it would have been easier to avoid him.Happens far too often. If we could combine Reo-Coker's athleticism with everything else that Petrov gives us then we would have a brilliant player. As it is, we're clearly better off with a tiring Petrov than Reo-Coker there.I think that combination hopefully could be Delph.

To frustrate you even more Dave.....how about Milner..............................................................Delph Albrighton.....................Ireland............................AYoung Gabby/Delf. Now that would have been some team. Still got 4 of them though.
Jordan Henderson?

When NRC fisrt came he gave our midfield the energy it had been lacking for yeas under O'Clown, but as we improved year on year he became less needed. The fact that we are looking to him again shows we have gone back to his standard rather than him improving.
An evertonian view. Well written but I doubt many will agree with their view.http://www.dixies60.com/2010/08/30/dixies-60-match-report-aston-villa-1-0-everton/?
